Condensed matter effects are discussed by comparing the structures of the glucose molecule in the crystalline and gas phases.doi:10.1016/S0009-2614(97)00701-XC. MolteniM. ParrinelloChemical Physics Lettersb. see also C. Molteni and M. Parrinello Chem. Phys. Lett. 275 , 409 (1998). View ...
The synthesis of the cell-wall peptidoglycan during bacterial cell division is mediated by a multiprotein machine, called the divisome. The essential membrane protein complex of FtsB, FtsL and FtsQ (FtsBLQ) is at the heart of the divisome assembly cascad
14. PCT is based on the concept that small-molecule ligands may act by blocking conformational fluctuations of a partially misfolded protein, rescuing its functional state and allowing escape from the endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) machinery (Fig.1)15. Hundreds of disease...
Phasing, model building and structural refinement The structure of FtsQ in complex with the C-terminal peptide of FtsB (PDB: 5Z2W18) was used for molecular replacement (MR) in Phenix phaser ver 1.14-3260 and the MR solution was found with a TFZ of 14.8, one molecule copy per ...
SEM/EDS, AFM, contact angle, and XPS analysis also indicated that the adsorbent film of Q and QN protects the steel from ions of acid. In addition, a molecular dynamics simulation was performed to optimize the inhibitor molecule equilibrium configurations at the Fe surface. From the experimental...
Some of the GLUT proteins translocate between subcellular compartments and this facilitates the control of their function over long- and short-time scales. The control of GLUT function is necessary for a regulated supply of metabolites (mainly glucose) to tissues. Pathophysiological abnormalities in ...
All three types of secondary structure (or combinations of secondary structure) can be involved in binding a particular ligand. The immunoglobulin molecule uses a total of six loop structures, three each from the variable domains of the heavy and light chains to bind to an antigen. By a very...
The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is a complex assemblage of glycopolymers and proteins. It consists of a thick peptidoglycan sacculus that surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane and that is decorated with teichoic acids, polysaccharides, and proteins.
Two molecules (molecules A and B) were positioned in the asymmetric unit and were essentially identical (root mean square deviation, 0.14 Å); hereafter, molecule A is used for discussion. All 575 amino acids of AglΔDCD-UCD were clearly resolved in the crystal structure, with the ...
This sugar (the “glucose unit”) is the repeating unit of a long polymeric chain. Cellulose is also found in prokaryotic organisms (Acetobacter xylinum, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Rhizobium spp.,12Escherichia coli, Klebsiella Chemical Structure of the Cellulose Macromolecule Even though the early ...
